Posterior Continuation with Noise-Conditioned Frequency Exposure for Diffusion Inverse Problems
arXiv:2602.00176v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion posterior sampling solves inverse problems by combining a pretrained diffusion prior with measurement-consistency guidance. However, full-band guidance can be unreliable at high noise levels, where clean estimates contain score-induced errors and high-frequency measurement directions are weakly identifiable. We argue that posterior guidance should expose measurement frequencies according to the instantaneous diffusion noise level. Based on this principle, we propose a posterior continuation framework that constructs a family o
